Concludes that, in view of the technical constraints and problems encountered in the preparation of national communications, namely difficulties relating to, inter alia, the quality and availability of data, emission factors and methodologies for an assessment of the effects of climate change and impacts of response measures, there is a need for financial and technical resources to maintain and enhance national capacities in non-Annex I Parties for preparing national communications; Requests, in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 5, of the Convention, each non-Annex I Party which has not submitted its initial national communication within three years of the entry into force of the Convention for that Party, or of the availability of financial resources in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Convention, to do so as soon as possible, on the understanding that Parties that are least developed countries may make their initial national communications at their discretion; Requests the secretariat to prepare for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation at its nineteenth session:
Pide, de conformidad con el párrafo 5 del artículo 12 de la Convención, a cada una de las Partes no incluidas en el anexo I que no haya presentado su comunicación nacional inicial en los tres años siguientes a la entrada en vigor de la Convención para dicha Parte, o a la disponibilidad de recursos financieros de conformidad con el párrafo 3 del artículo 4 de la Convención, que lo haga lo antes posible, en el entendimiento de que las Partes que son países menos adelantados podrán presentar sus comunicaciones iniciales cuando lo estimen oportuno;
